Fredy is amazing! I had some trouble with my car and he really took the time to help me out. He found the parts I needed and made sure everything was done right. He’s super friendly and explains things so you actually understand what’s going on. You can tell he works hard and really cares about doing a good job. Definitely recommend him if you need someone you can trust!

About a 2 weeks ago I had a huge issue with my car battery, I went into Advance Auto Parts at this location and a very kind associate, Domenic approached me and assisted me by putting a new battery in my car. My car runs so great now and I’ve never been happier! Thank you Domenic for all of your help!!

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
